Mcgraw print defect

[Runscott]

I have to admit, when I acquired that card, although I definitely noticed the red mark and looped it to make sure it wasn't an 'alteration', I didn't get overly excited. But I also don't get excited over 'SHAPPE' or 'NODGRASS' cards.

This card is actually more interesting to me than the other two mentioned above, because the red in the portrait is all in the background - seems very odd that a splotch would be consistently printed in a spot where it sticks out like that. The 'SHAPPE' and 'NODGRASS' are only really interesting in that they didn't end up in the scrap heap.

Hi Martin,
I've been building a Harry Potter Lego castle with the kids since 10:30.....I'm glad they let me have a break to read my email and check the board. I knew I had this card set aside for the color difference, but had forgotten about the red mark...FYI, I have quite a few McGraw's and this is the only "red mark" one. Here is my back breakdown of regular cards:
2 Hindu's
3 Piedmont 150's
2 Sweet Cap 150's
2 Sovereign 350's

I think I have a few more, but the kids are yelling for me....

Be well Brian

Hi Mike,
Hope you and the family have a great Christmas.....
Be well Brian

Thanks Brian. Only nine McGraws!
Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Mike

MERRY CHRISTMAS EARLY

Hey everyone....Mike, sweet score!....Brian, knew you would have one in the arsenal

Martin.....i'm sorry my bro, you know it's gone to a good home i really appreciate that you sold it to me....if i decide to sell one day, that one might have to go back to you........

I haven't picked one up(mcgraw)....but that chance sov 460 i picked up recently has a similiar magenta layer all over the card!!i thought it was ink or something....but looks to be done at factory....really weird....

the mcgraw blotch was probably a squirt or splash of magenta that settled in a groove on the plate and a few piedy 150 sheets slipped out....you guys are really getting decerning eyes, especially mike h....


this set is so kewl prob find these little anomalies every year, and still after 100 years things still get noticed or "discovered"...



peace

ho ho ho

I know this is an old thread, but thought it wouldn't hurt to see if there are some other examples to add to the five already posted. All seem to have a Piedmont 150 reverse. Check your McGraw no caps and see if you have one and let us know. Here are my two again.
